> Had to buy 20 lbs of russets and 5 lbs of fresh >mushies though. Smallest packages I could find. lol. Ahh, another thing! :-))) So how much does it really cost, when one throws away half of the stuff bought at Costco for "so much lower prices"? BTW, for the proposal to "check out Costco personally" - been there, done that. Jurgis

I have shopped at BJ's and Sams club.. there are only two of us.. I shop there for the items you cannot get at local grocery store.. But I find there veg. fruits, are not competitive with local chain stores.. If you but sale items you will almost always beat them in price and not have to buy the large quantity. Meats you can do very well at BJ's , Sams Costco but again you need to watch weekly sales at local chain stores.. I find it goes both ways. Still would buy a membership card to find various foods at these discounters as chain store doesn't have room to stock too many different items..
